In 1999, my rent was $700. The same apartment now is $2800.
In 1999, my health insurance was $300. Now it's $1400.
My wages? Lower now than then.
Please stop telling me how things have been improved.
if i understand financial literacy properly this means we all need to liquidate our 401ks and invest heavily in those weird nipple clamps the bad guys wear in the new Mad Max movies

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.
Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.
The 25th is never happening.
"We started a war of aggression for no reason & commenced it by accidentally bombing an elementary school & killing over 100 kids."
That simple fact is so horrific that it's just kind of bouncing on the surface of our collective consciousness. We can't absorb its full implications & significance.
You are a regular ass civilian. You are not a hotshot FBI investigator pounding the pavement in Detroit. Act like it.
We currently have zero idea about the Temple Israel shooters’ identity, motives or long range goals and it’s *profoundly irresponsible and unhelpful* to speculate about it imo
He did this in the first administration as well. They completely abandoned the interagency process for ad hoc groups involving his favorites. Nothing has changed, too many people chose to forget it and, well, here we are.
actual detransitioners are real, too, but:
1. the biggest group are involuntary detransitioners, i.e. trans people who've been denied the right to live the life that they want
2. the second biggest group are people who move on with their lives and don't hate trans people
some of these people are gonna be fake detransitioners, people with gripping stories like "i spent a week on hormones and didn't like it," "i experimented with they/them pronouns," or "this one time, i got a haircut"
Some Tech CEO every day: "You don't get to own things now. I own your refrigerator. If you say mean things about me I will turn off your fridge and spoil all your dairy and eggs and meat. If you don't like it you go to jail."

Like, seriously, every one of those is an opportunity to seize on!
I think there should be loads of IP-Based RPGs, I think they should all come in boxes, I think they should be built like starter sets for brand new players.
Extremely funny that there are people on here who think the next Democratic president should be as deferential to Israel as the last one lol
I bet no matter what they think they mean, they’re actually complaining about (perceived) loss of social and cultural status. But they can’t say it and may not even grasp it as such.
A billionaire friend told me that he was appalled by how many of his billionaire friends felt that way.
I have a cousin like this, has a boat and a 2nd house on a lake and complains how bad off he is...please.
I have had friends call me from their boats and their in-ground pools to tell me how much this country screwed them
Dutch translation of original skeet: Al adviseert: Boost je immuunsysteem door knoflook in je anus te stoppen.
Also, Dutch totally not beating the allegations of being a fake language.
over half of Palantir's revenue comes from government contracts. hundreds of millions of OUR taxpayer dollars, every year, are spent subsidizing this man and his company.
This is v specific shit talk but Sam Altman doesn't even know what kind of olive oil you use to cook with vs dress a salad + using his own LLM led him to buy the worst espresso maker on the consumer market. I think I'll muddle through my admin work on my own thanks lmao
Given the errors that genAI is notorious for, there is nothing I would rather NOT do than trust any LLM for the business side of my work lmfao. Multiple genAI companies have fatal casualty counts at this point, you really trust them with your taxes?
This eventually turns into a thoughtful look at the psychic toll on servicemembers forced to fight a war of retribution and rage. "You’re asking people to die for the ambitions of a president and a moral calculus that’s no greater than might makes right,” one vet says www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/u...
you couldn't write this as fiction because it would be too on the nose
sam altman looks so desperate in every pic I've ever seen of him, a man hoping against hope to come up with an actual business model before everything collapses on him
The Epstein class is age old Christian hegemony. Stop letting it hide behind trendy names.
